The Wine Front Campbell Mattinson
Posted on 01 January 2005.
The oak on this 1999 John Riddoch Cabernet Sauvignon has been taken up beautifully here – much better, indeed, than the 1998 release did – though it’s possible that at barrel selection time the more restrained, classical cabernet parcels were pushed forward, which is a step entirely in the right direction.
This will be a classic wine in ten years time. It’s fruity, sure, but more so firm and tight and tannic, with excellent fruit momentum and thrilling acidity. It presents as a chunky wine of nonetheless finesse. It presents as a wine with an eye to long term quality, rather than to short-term market trends.
